About Connect

Connect: IT at NYU is a publication of Information Technology Services (ITS) that reports on the many novel and engaging ways that faculty, staff and students at the University use computing and networking in support of their research, administration, and pedagogy.

In the spring of 2011, Connect began publishing exclusively to the Web. However, you can still view old print copies by browsing the Connect archives.
